we'll be joining our correspondent who's in the thick of the action in a few minutes from now here on r.t. . barack obama vows to fulfill his promise of change in a victory speech to jubilant supporters that's after securing a second term as president of the united states. what was predicted to be a close finish if a lot of time turned into an end lector old college landslide barack obama swept a victory in almost every battleground state to win a second term as president his republican challenger mitt romney has since conceded defeat saying he hoped the bomber could deliver this now cross to marina in new york she has more on the election aftermath. while president barack obama achieved an electoral sweep there is a much narrow margin when it comes to the popular vote of the twenty twelve election believe it or not u.s. ballots are still being counted as of wednesday morning it appears that fifty

percent of americans voted for obama and forty eight and a half percent voted for mitt romney what this shows is that despite obama's victory america remains a nation that is deeply divided and some would say very polarized obama for his part defied history in the twenty twelve election the us leader was reelected with the highest unemployment rate of any president returning to office since franklin roosevelt in one thousand nine hundred thirty six the us unemployment rate is around seven point eight percent and tens of millions of americans are not experiencing the economic recovery that obama promised four years ago but in the u.s. twenty twelve election voters were forced to pick between a democratic incumbent who hasn't delivered on his promise of change and a republican such as mitt romney whose agenda included shrinking government and slashing taxes in times of financial uncertainty during his acceptance speech obama

assured americans that the best was still ahead but as artie's guy in a chicken reports the best may be more of the same with and the winner was i wanted. more to say to them this is like the you made your voice her you made it there for me romney has accepted his role. just as it will be. later victory. full on excitement in the president's hometown of chicago to president obama's daughters chanting four more years. survivor what do they expect in the next four years and are they so happy with the past four of his presidency congress hasn't been very cooperative the past two years but i think he needs these four more years to continue i'm very happy with

what he's tried to achieve i really need to have the help of the health care that he's going to offer and like i said we need more time than the last four years the main pledge of president obama's campaign it's been to bring back the shrinking middle class and made the economy slow recovery and gigantic deficit at a time when the gap between the rich and the poor is as high as ever in america i want to give middle class families and folks who are striving to get in the middle class some relief because they have been hit hard the president has blamed congress for his inability to implement a more robust plan to help out the middle class president obama's claim that he's being handcuffed by republican lawmakers and his plan to dramatically cut taxes for middle income americans does not hold the vast majority of americans and our entire economy hostage while we debate the merits of another tax cut for the wealthy and skeptics argue there is no reason to believe congress will give the president an easier ride in his second term however president obama had no problem with congress

when he signed into law the controversial legislation which allows for the detention of american citizens for indefinite periods of time without charge and due process is a new trend on the trail of our civil liberties that the president has assumed a dictatorial rights to put us in prison at his pleasure without charge or without trial and congress did not stand in the president's way when he was increasing military spending here after a year of something he almost bragged about during the debate on foreign policy our military spending has gone up every single year that i've been in office. the actions of the administration overseas in the last four years have indicated. that the president discarded in favor of military interventions but is the clear strategy is to stay away from fighting ground wars and to opt for more hit and run style interventions like the one executed in libya. as well syria the

administration indicated that they would like to intervene more actively but for now syria just seems too complicated and washington cannot count on a desirable outcome for us to get more in tangled militarily in syria is a serious step and we have to do so making absolutely certain that we know who we are helping that we're not putting arms in the hands of folks who eventually could turn them against us or our allies in the region having spent around a billion dollars in this election campaign barack obama is america's commander in chief again president obama will be sworn into office in january something his supporters are very excited about their hopes and expectations include jobs no more devastating wars and no more financial meltdowns there was a good number of people who voted for barack obama because they were voting against mitt romney's seeing him as more aggressive especially when it comes to foreign policy and seemingly out of touch with middle class america and

a lot of people didn't see a choice at all in this election in washington i'm going to check out. well for more i'm with full use of my take american to talk to former cia officer ray mcgovern well with regards to his foreign policy most expect more of the same any chances of surprises you think. well i think there is a chance of surprises if obama grows a backbone in the next week or two this is his chance he shouldn't wait until his last year he should immediately square with the american people what i would suggest is that he call a press conference new york times washington post wall street journal couple of the folks you see the media will be unwilling to say anything different from what the president says to the media in this country and so what he would say is you know

the campaign is over and i found out that i've been grievously misled. they told me to say that iran had threatened to wipe israel off the map and i found out that they. never said that as a matter of fact israeli deputy prime minister sort of said ok ok they never said that and so my speechwriters are being canned i'm going to get some new priest speechwriters the intelligence community keeps telling me that he run has not yet decided to build a nuclear weapon and so i'm going to get rid of all those folks from brookings other places who are the sort of on states keep saying well you know you still have to worry about this instead of negotiations once that is done once these troublesome people who have their own agenda are dismissed then he has a square chance of saying look we're going to do a deal with the run just as i said five years ago we're going to talk directly to

them and we're not going to let that be sabotaged by either israeli intelligence or is really for sure not of those within the neoconservative camp in washington right now it's really good precedent and it would free the president. was he quickly another matter on the foreign policy agenda is a call syria what should his attitude be to war. that issue now will the american people have an appetite for america to get involved. there is no appetite and the situation in syria is so confused with so many rogues running around including al qaeda that the president would do well to continue to stay out there's nothing but trouble there and on that score he's he's conducting a much more sensible policy than he did when he was led by people like hillary clinton to bless a non-war war in libya what he needs to do in syria is make sure he tells

our elected representatives that he will not engage our u.s. forces without their approval and that will be something very very important for a constitution i've got to quickly ask you here i am in moscow you are in the u.s. what about the anti missile defense issue there was the infamous microphone slip in a conversation between medvedev when he was president obama where bob actually promised that he will be flexible over the anti missile defense issue very briefly what's your thought about that now. the energy missile defense system in this country is the largest. the largest bonus or the largest. the largest scheme to help our poor defense contractors amass still more billions of dollars and when i was studying russian i learned the word involves three. well that's what you have running this part of u.s.

policy it makes no sense at all missile defense can always be defeated but this is the biggest poverty poverty. support for the defense of recently just for those who don't speak russian translate what you just said in russian then we finish. obviously didn't hear me their governor thank you very much former cia officer joining us in washington well a sigh of relief or a wake up call or corresponds across the globe we'll be bringing you more on how a bomb is reelection has been welcomed worldwide that much morphy after the break. returning to our breaking news now thousands of angry greeks have gathered in the center of athens to protest new austerity measures about to be voted on in parliament there are fresh clashes happening as we speak in artie's peter all of it is in the greek capital syntagma square has seen many protests in the past couple

of years how hostile is the position at the moment particularly a little earlier we saw as getting quite loud and raucous when we spoke about an hour ago tell us now what's happening. well it certainly was rule indeed earlier in the evening we saw a huge crowd easily more than one hundred thousand people gathered here right in the center of athens they're here to demonstrate against the next round of austerity measures that are currently being debated just over my shoulder in the parliament building now what you could also see just over there is the camera on zooms in is what's left of the demonstrators now the reason that that is far less than one hundred thousand people is due to the actions of the riot police now it took a little more than forty minutes for them to to clear out a huge amount of people from the square just behind me we saw molotov cocktails thrown at the police we saw the ethic quick tear gas also flash bangs used loud

explosions and lots of lots of noise indeed being carried out as they say centrally a running battle fought on the streets of the greek capital now the reason that this is taking place is due to the outraged it is the outrage of the greek people here over the austerity measures that are being debated actually you can hear more explosions going on just over to my my left there is as people kind of regroup and come back to the square we've certainly not seen the end of this tonight the reason we haven't seen the end of this night is because there is still voting going now there about four hours behind schedule here in athens of when they were supposed to announce a latest. round of austerity measures and latest round of austerity measures that watching the greek politicians in the parliament say could bankrupt the country for a generation at least now one of the things that set the crowd off was the opposition parties opposition politicians coming out onto the balcony of the palm

and building and saying unfurling a banner which read you destroy the country now now shortly after that we then saw clashes between police and protesters it says it's starting to get a little bit more heated again just behind me and of course something you all of the the updates as we get them here on r.t. as we watch what could be a major turning point for greece and its future in the eurozone. it all about live in athens thank you very much indeed for that update. to mean isn't this true even for specialists how a voice can produce several sounds it comes to lenience the art of throat singing comes naturally picked up like

u.s. reportedly considering stationing patriot missiles along the border with syria reports suggest that nato is prepared to take responsibility for the deployment of the missiles that you were acting as lindsey german says this is the first step to a full scale military intervention these will be news is necessary so students may need in the end so. it seems to me that having the patriot missiles is a trade but it's a no fly zone we've seen the full effects of no fly zones for example in the b.s. for example in iraq where they actually. bring peace to the region i guess they will try to get the u.n. security council but this is a problem that the. u.s. in particular and the european powers had a great deal of trouble with that they haven't been able to get in the emergency which is going ahead i think now they're all pressing much much stronger animals we should be aware. there is

a greater president in recent history for nato at scene outside the. also since of the u.n. security council of course as strong as well as. a gunman went on the rampage in moscow shooting dead five people and severely wounding two parties lindsey france brings us the latest details. these storms the office on the fourth floor with a rifle in each hand and began firing bullets when two women and three men died two other people are right now being treated in the hospital now according to investigators the suspect says he'd been drinking for five days in a row and then came into the office to carry out the shooting because he was in love with one of his female coworkers who did not return his feelings now before the shooting on his big contact your page which is essentially the russian a social networking of public of facebook he posted

a very violently worded manifesto that was posted at around five this morning the shooting took place just five hours later he used phrases such as i hate human society i hate this very life he talks about human evolution the pairing it took cancer eating away at the body and now the worry and all of this at this point is that this a first strongly a copycat crime crimes that samir a mass killings that would have taken place in other countries very definitely of the united states and also the anders breivik case out of norway so really in a country like russia where firearms are so heavily restricted and crime such as this search stream really rare investigators do hope that this is not in fact a copycat case and that it does not lead to more like it. if you live here most callous no return to our coverage of the u.s. election.

in the middle east obama's victory isn't evoking much jubilation israel openly back to mitt romney who went out of his way to support and while the arab world is not exactly enthusiastic it views a bomber's fold but moderates and the lesser of two evils thought his middle east course. reports. what we have seen from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is that he has not shied away from making it publicly known that he would have preferred a republican inside the white house what we now witnessing and what we have seen in the past is sometimes a very public clashes public spat between the obama administration and israeli leaders and these were often over the iranian nuclear program as well as palestinian peace talks now there are commentaries at the moment circulating here in israel that say that netanyahu now has a very serious problem on his hands and there is no way that he can cover it out of a recent poll put the support amongst israelis towards romney at fifty seven percent twenty one percent supporting obama and the watchers of netanyahu and obama

the relationship between the united states and israel has deteriorated to an idle time low and the big question of course is the whole question of what netanyahu now will do these are the rare and he has been quite vocal saying that he is threatening to strike iran but it is quite clear that he cannot carry out such a strike without american support and obama for his side has not given him the support most in the arab world has preferred and obama victory back in two thousand and nine in his now famous cairo speech a bomb a pledge that he was going to introduce a new chapter in american muslim relations but since then there has been a lot of disappointment over the way he has dealt with issues in the arab world particularly these are the muslims he was a lot of criticisms leveled against him in his administration over the way they handled the arab spring they were accused of doing double standards and inconsistency and also accused of meddling in countries such as egypt and libya and

then when it comes to the so-called and noticed revolutions of the rain for example with pro-democracy demonstrators have been taking to the streets a bomb has kept quiet. unlike across the middle east obama's election triumph was met more positively even warmly in russia both president vladimir putin and pm dmitri medvedev which the democrat well during his next term though the question remains whether he can breathe new life into the historically sensitive relations between the two nations what is your position of has more now on the challenges ahead. many do view missouri bombers the engine behind the reset of relations with moscow and one of the biggest achievements of that is definitely the new nuclear arms reduction treaty but at the same time some of the biggest stumbling points in relations are still there including washington's plans for the n.t. missile defense system in europe despite moscow's concerns that it could be a threat to russia's national security we know that obama promised to be a bit more flexible on that we really have to see how it works out and also the two

are probably the most fierce opponents at the u.n. security council when it comes to the conflict in syria but certainly there are many things that you could work together on which could really tilt this relationship in either direction including things like how russia and the united states will deal with the syria or the iranian nuclear program. as the biggest electoral intrigue of this year draws to a close we'll be bringing you the final few results expert analysis and continued international reaction. breaking news this hour in central athens thousands of greeks of bartley venting their anger over a new austerity package protesters in the square around the parliament building a friend rocks and. police responding with tear gas struggling to keep the hostile crowds at bay and the greek government is expected to pass a thirteen and
